Hon. JOHN S. BARBOUR NOMINATED BY
AccLAMATIoN.-On last Thursday night,
the caucus of the Democratic members of
the Legislature nominated by reclamation
Hon, John S. Barbour for U. S. Senator to
succeed Senator Riddleberger, and, on the
goth, he will be elected by the unanimous
vote of the Democratic members.
The Republicans have not yet made a
nomination, but they will, no doubt, nomi-
nate Malone, though many are opposed to
him.

THE WEST VIRGINIA PRoHIBITIoNIsTs
At meeting of the State executive com
mittee of the prohibition party OF West Vir
ginia, just held in Grafton, it was decided
to enter the campaign in that State mex
year with a full ticket in the field. Thil
action was unanimous. 4 representative
will be sent to the national convention, and
nominations will be made for State, congress
sional, legislative and local officers. Efforts
are to be taken at once 10 perfect the organ
ization of the party throughout the State.
This policy will defeat the proposition to
incorporate prohibition amendment ia the
constitution Of that Ssate, vote upon
which will be taken next year. The lead
ers in the cause Of prohibition in that State
show but little practical sense.
The English bcndholders, through Mr..
VIM. L. Roya!, indicate desire to treat
with the VirglP;a Legislature for settle
msnt Of the State debt.

The Presidents Message.

We publish in full in this issue copies of
the annual messages of both President
Cleveland and Gov. Lee, and both are ad-
nirable documents, which deserve to be
read, pondered, and inwardly digested. In
another article, we have made brief refer
enca to that of Gov. Lee, and, il we had the
space, would give some comments on that
of President Cleveland, though it is so shorts
comparatively, and so interesting that it is
unnecessary, as all intelligent readers will
examine it for themselves, and it speaks so
plainly that it needs DO explan&tions
The President carries good leyel lead
on his shoulders, and an honest, brave heart
in his bosom. He thinks calmly and pro-
foundly, and boldly and independently says
W hat he thinks, seemingly wholly careless
as to how 1t will affect his popularity and
chances of being reelected, He exercises
the liberty for which Milton prayed. when
pleading for the liberty of unlicensed print
ing
"Give me the liberty to know, to utter,
aud to argue freely, according to con-
science, above all liberties"
He is the kind OF man in whog, the peo-
Pile can repose confidence, whether they con-
cur in all his views Or not. He practices
no deception, and none of the arts of the
demagogic politician, but speaks honestly
and frankly, letting all know exactly where
and how he stands. That his message will
be adversely criticised by many is to be ex-
pected, and even in those features which
should bs most commended. Listen not to
oaptious criticisms, but read the message and
judge for yourself. We nag notice some of
these criticisms in the future.

REGISTER OF LAND OFFICE.

hope the Legislature will closely search
the expense account Of the Government
and promptly reduce disbursements wher-
ever it can be done without injury to the
public service, and where such expenditures
are unnecessary abolish them In this way
the amount to be taken from tha revenue
account will be smaller and the surplus IN
a6Ips greater.
AS beginning of this good work, have
the honor to recommend that the position
of the Register of the Land Office be abol-
ished, and that all papers, books and re-
cords be turned over 10 the Second Audi
tors Office.
Second. That tho police force for duty at
the Capitol and public grounds be composed
as now of seven members, to be appointed
by the Governor, one of whom shall be
known as chief of police and superinten-
dent of public buildings. This officer should
be held responsible for the strict perfor-
nance of their duties hy the police, and
shall, by the direction of the Governor,
have charge of the repairs to public build
ings, and see that the public grounds are
kept clean and in every respect in good
condition.
The pay OF the six policemen shall be the
same as they receive now-namely, $65 pes
mouth, and the pay of the chief of police
be $50 per month.
have also to recommend that the con.
vict labor now employed at the Capitol and
public grounds be replaced by the work of
men who have not committed offences
against the State laws; this work is done
now by seven oonvicis, some of whom are
guarded by the Capitol police. and others
labor under guard from the penitentiary
The work done by these convicts can be
much more satisfactorily performsa by
three or four good laborers at say thirty
dollars per mouth, to be selected and en-
ployed by the chief of police.
The official reports from heads of various
departments of the Government have all
been rendered they will be found faithful
in detail and full of material aud 10 these
reports you are respectfully referred.
And now to yGu, gentlemen of the As.
sembly, commit the important subjects
brought to your attention, with confident
hope that your enactments will exalt the
civilz alton, promote the tranquility, and
increase the happiness and prosperity of
the people of this great Commonwealth.

KOINER'S RESOLUTIONS.

On Monday Mr.. Koiner's joint resolution
in reference to Railroad transportation
came up in the senate for consideration
when Mr.. Koiner advocated it strongly. He
thought this one of the few important sub
jecss that this General Assembly had to
CONSIDER, aud he had no doubt that its dis
cussion would consume some days, if not
weeks
Mr.. Blackstone moved the reference TO
the Committee on Roads and Internal Nav
igation. He was opposed to special COM
mittees when regular committees had been
appointed for these very subjects.
Mr.. Lovenstein echoed these same senti-
ments, as he had done before.
Mr. Koiner insisted on the adoption Of
his resolution.
After q lengthy discussion the motion of
Mr. Blackstone was carried by the recorded
vote of 22 to 6.
In the House, Mr.. Magruder of shenaH-
doah offered q resolution that airy legislation
at this session is unnecessary aud unwise.
1t was referred to committee on Courts of
Justice.

Judge David Davis Caution.

Among President Arthur's papers there is doubtless a note which he once received from David Davis which amused hirK very much. lt WAS a brief and formal letter, but the peculiar thing about it was that Mir Davis signed his name so close to the last line that nothing could have been written between the lines. Arthur thought if very unconventional signature, especially as Gt a nasty glance 1t might be overlooked. But he learned that Judge Davis always signed his name thus. to prevent any one from filling in anything in the customary blank space
 IL appeared that when he was Q judge in Illinois a suit was brought before him to test the validity of note. The ostensi- ble maker admitted that the signature was his, but swore he never made the note; and it was developed on trial that some rascal had taken advantage of a blank space between the termination of a letter and the signature tO i'll in a note of hand, which he got discounted
 The judge, who was very cautious man. took a hint from this, and ever afterward signed his own name SO as tO prevent such improper use of it.-New York Sun.
